If you look at what 254/968 made during that first week though, you are pretty much following his rule. During week 1, the only parts that were machined were the ones that had already been prototyped and shown to work. Those parts were also pretty low risk. Wheels, chain tensioners, and axles that have been shown to work very well during previous years don't really need to be prototyped or thought through quite as thoroughly as a ball magnet.
